We are interested in highlighting the great work taking place across the nation in our upcoming “Spotlights on Equity” feature of the “What’s New” newsletter. In order to do so, we would like to learn more about what individuals and organizations are doing to fight for racial justice & ensure that equity, diversity & inclusion (EDI) is embedded and central to the work they do.
Share Our Strength defines equity, diversity & inclusion as:
•Equity - The process of establishing systems, policies and behaviors that eliminate the unfair distribution of material and non-material access and opportunity resulting in outcome and experience differences that are predictable by race, socioeconomic status, gender identity, home language, sexual orientation, religion, and other dimensions of identity
•Diversity - All the differences between us based on which we experience advantages or encounter barriers to opportunities.
•Inclusion - Nurturing a sense of belonging by centering, valuing, and amplifying the voices, perspectives and styles of those who experience more barriers based on their intersectional identities.
Please take a few minutes to answer any of the questions below so we can get a better sense of your community & how you are advancing EDI principles.
